Bey guter Zeit by André Vierendeels — Lyrics
Bey guter Zeit dich schlaffen leg,
folgend' Stück lasz keinnen weg:
dein Vatter und dein Mutter Grüsz,
erlaubnusz bitt mit Worten süsz
dein recht Hand küsz, sag gut Nacht,
und gib auff ihren Segen acht.
Und eh' du zeugst die Kleyder ausz,
durchsuch dein Hertz durchkehr dein Hausz,
hinein in dein Gewissen brech,
und guck was in dem Dusen steckt,
under Banck, hinter der Thür,
such alles auff, bring alles für.

The text offers guidance for preparing for sleep, emphasizing reflection and seeking divine favor. It encourages singers to examine their conscience, seek forgiveness, and give thanks for God's blessings. The lyrics also implore heavenly light to reveal hidden truths. The piece would serve well as a reflective moment within a service or as part of a devotional program.
